China Southern launches Canton Route
China Southern Airlines has introduced the Canton Route to Europe, capitalising on new scheduled services from its Guangzhou hub to London Heathrow in June.
China Southern executive vice president He Zongkai said he hoped the Canton Route would become as popular as the Kangaroo Route for Australians travelling to London and Europe.
China Southern will launch a Guangzhou-London service in June and increase flight frequencies on its Guangzhou-Paris and Guangzhou-Amsterdam services.
Since last year, China Southern Airlines has operated double daily flights between Sydney and Guangzhou, increased the frequency of our Melbourne-Guangzhou service to double daily, extended its Brisbane-Guangzhou route to Beijing, and launched a new Perth–Guangzhou-Beijing service with three weekly flights.
China Southern presently operates 35 weekly flights from Australia to Guangzhou.
THE MOLE VIEW: China Southern should be calling this new service the Panda Route. It’s a bit more warm and cuddly than the Canton Route.
